RENAULT CARD: use
There are two ways to unlock/lock the vehicle:
- the RENAULT card in “Hands-free” mode;
- the RENAULT card in remote control mode.
Using the card in “hands-free” mode
In “hands-free” mode, it is possible to lock/unlock the vehicle without using any of the RENAULT card’s buttons, as long as the card is within the access zone 1.
Note: “hands-free” access can be deactivated from the multimedia screen (please see the equipment instructions).
Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or locking the doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Do not store the RENAULT card anywhere it may come into contact with other electronic equipment (computer, phone, etc.) as this could hinder its operation.
“Hands-free” unlocking
With the RENAULT card in zone 1, move your hand behind a handle 2: the vehicle will unlock. Unlocking is indicated by one flash of the hazard warning lights and the indicator lights.
Pressing the button 3 unlocks the entire vehicle and releases the boot.
Nota: the “hands-free” system may experience temporary difficulties if one of the sensors built into the inside of the door handle is obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, gritting salt etc.). Clean the sensors. If there is still a problem, contact an approved dealer.
Remote “Hands-free” locking
With the RENAULT card on you, and doors and boot closed, move away from the vehicle: it will lock automatically as soon as you leave the access zone.
Note: The distance at which the vehicle locks depends on the surroundings.
To indicate that the vehicle has been locked, the hazard warning lights and indicator lights flash once and then light up for approximately four seconds, and a beep sounds in confirmation.
“Hands-free” locking using the sensor 4
If you wish to lock your vehicle while the card is within range, make sure that the doors and boot are closed and place your finger over the sensor 4 on the driver’s door handle. The vehicle will lock.
Note: The sensor cannot be used to lock the vehicle unless the RENAULT card is within the access zone 1.
Special features of the locking system
Having locked the vehicle by pressing the sensor 4, there is a delay of approximately 3 seconds before it can be unlocked again. During these 3 seconds, the door handles can be tried to make sure that the vehicle is locked properly.
If a door is open or not properly closed:
- when locking using the sensor 4, the vehicle will lock/unlock in quick succession, but the hazard warning lights will not flash;
- the vehicle will not lock as you move away.
If the RENAULT card has been within range for approximately 15 minutes, remote locking is disabled.
The vehicle cannot be locked if the card is within the zone 5.
If the vehicle is unlocked by pressing the button on the RENAULT card, but the doors or boot are not then opened; remote “hands-free” locking is disabled.
Using the card as a remote control
Unlocking with the card RENAULT
Press button 6. Unlocking is indicated by one flash of the hazard warning lights and the indicator lights.
Locking using the RENAULT card
With the doors and boot closed, press button 7: the vehicle locks. The indicator lights and hazard warning lights flash twice to indicate that the doors have locked.
Note: The maximum distance at which the vehicle locks depends on the surroundings.
Special features
If the a door or the boot is open or not properly closed, the vehicle cannot be locked. The vehicle will lock/unlock in quick succession, but the hazard warning lights will not flash.
If, while the engine is running, a door is opened and closed, and the card is no longer in the zone 5, the message Keycard not detected indicates that the card is not inside the vehicle. This will, for example, prevent you from driving away after dropping off a passenger who has kept the card on them.
The warning disappears when the card is detected again.
The card buttons are deactivated when the engine is running.
Locking/unlocking only the boot
Press the button 8 to lock/unlock the boot only.
Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone in your vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or locking the doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
